AMD 1

For me, finding an Aktivität auf Deutsch is as easy as picking up the phone.  For this one I decided to give a skype call to my Tante Erne, a very lovely, but lonely, Frau after Onkel Manfred suddenly passed away last year at the age of 81 (they are actually my Father's Aunt and Uncle).  We stayed with Tante Erne for part of our trip to Deutschland diesen Sommer to visit family.  She was happy to answer my call at 18.00 local time, despite being amidst her dinner perperations she happily set aside her Maultaschen to talk with me.  She was interested to hear how classes were going, and we conversed mostly in German, as her English is not very good, and I am learning German, after all.  She was happy to hear that I have madeone of the competition teams for Ballroom, and warned me that being Schwäbish, both her and mein Vater may pronounce things differently from how the instructor spoke, but I assured her that it would be okay.

The last night we were there before flying home, she made Röte Grutze for dessert, and was pleased to learn that I made it successfully based off her rezepte over die Weinachstenfreizeit.  She was curious to know how I was getting along without a fresh Schwäbiche Brezel each morning; "Das geht mir schlect, mit keine Bretzeln." "Aah, denn Timothy, du müssen bald wiederkommen!" I certainly hope so.
